Yeah, I see what you mean about the X over the 2.

Thanks!

I'd prefer not to have the qwerty keyboard (I know some people who love it though). And the HDMI is a plus. Show off. Record something outside, then plug it into the TV of the house youre in. Or put a movie on your phone and plug it into a TV and watch the movie in HD.

the droid x has some impressive specs but i still wouldn't trade the evo 4g for anything just can't wait for htc to release the damn source code so the developers can really make some amazing roms for rooted phones.

take your pick

yes, i'm well aware Sir. i use the multi touch keyboard from the droid x on my evo now and i'm just saying its nothing special and not better than Swype which i think many people will use if they give it a chance. its great to have the option though for sure.

any device that is rooted once the source code is out will be able to do a ton more. we will get an amazing Froyo port for the evo way before Sprint ever gets around to putting it out once source is out, not to mention Gingerbread which they are saying should be out in October I believe from today's reports. overclocking to the extreme, fixing the garbage software restrictions that HTC put on the evo for fps. making HDMI out available for eveyrthing from homescreen and all apps (right now you can only use hdmi out for videos, youtube and the gallery) essentially with hdmi out for everything you could use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and some may use it as a netbook type setup. for me it would be good to use slingplayer with hdmi out on some occasions.

droid x is an awesome device.... just not worth double the monthly charge going from sprint to verizon not to mention the loss of 4g which is amazing if its in your area.

That's kind of how I figured it too. My "New Every Two" is up in October, so I'm torn.

I'm eligible for an upgrade as of 7/28 and I was going to go with the X for sure even though I'll probably have to wait a while for it, but now I'm thinking about going with the Incredible instead because of this:

So, let's just save you a bit of time from the outset: the Droid X is an imposing device, and it's definitely not for the small of hands. Makes no mistake, this is a big phone designed for use by big people. Well, not necessarily "big," but let's just say you're going to have a tough go of it if you're the kind of person that struggles to find a ball at the bowling alley where you can reach all the holes.

Could have been written specifically about me - I have the hands of a carnie. All I really care about (aside from the obvious calling and texting) is internet speed, a few apps, camera, and maybe on rare occasions using it for video. Am I really going to be losing a lot by going Incredible instead?

I have tiny hands and I have an incredible. I love my phone, and with all the things you're worrying about you won't see a big difference between the two. They're the same speed, same operating system, and the Incredible is getting an upgrade for 720p video.

Plus, you won't be able to root the X (at least for a while, or easily). The Incredible is already rooted (and so is mine).

i'll add, after playing with a Droid, an Incredible, and an iphone 2nd gen, the iphone (even the old 2nd gen) just seems so much better, classier, easier. BUT - the service and speed of the internet on the Droids is definetely faster/better.

Now that there is the "one click" root available for the Incredible trhough Unrevoked3, what are the benefits to rooting your phone? I'm thinking about it but I'm still not totally sure what it exactly entails.
